roller rocker question

I know this is one of the first/most basic mods suggested, here's my situation. Money is tight, and I have an engine going in my T/A that's got the Comp stock replacement 1.52 rocker arms. I'm trying to avoid adding more cost, but I also don't want to leave out something dumb that could be a major performance increase. Here's what I currently have:
355 w/forged flat-tops, around 10:1 compression
AFR 180cc Street Eliminators
Comp Cams 08-304-8, .210/.220 @.050, .500/.510 lift
Fully ported stock base, ported SLP runners, ported plenum, stock TB
headers, exhaust, 2400 stall, tune, etc.

If the $200 or so I'd spend on going with 1.6s are going to net me decent rwhp gains I'll do it, if we're talking 10-15hp I'm not going to bother.

Re: roller rocker question

Save your money for right now if money is tight. I doubt you would see 5-10hp.

Its also something thats easly changeable later.
